Lazio stunned Juventus with a 3-0 victory at the Allianz Stadium yesterday, exposing the work still required for the Bianconeri to find consistency. The defeat was a major setback for Juventus, who had hoped to build on their late victory against Celta Vigo and deliver another strong performance in front of their home supporters.
Juventus were expected to be the stronger side after their European success, but they struggled to maintain their momentum. Without Luciano Spalletti on the touchline to direct the team, the Bianconeri found it difficult to control the contest and prevent Lazio from taking advantage of their opportunities.
Unlike in some of their recent matches, Juventus began with plenty of energy and intent. However, Lazio matched their intensity, making the opening stages an open and frantic contest in which both teams looked capable of creating danger.
Randal Kolo Muani appeared to have given Juventus the lead when he found the net, but his effort was ruled out for offside. Lazio then took their opportunity through Oliver Provstgaard, whose goal stood and put the visitors ahead.
Juventus gradually lost their momentum as the first half progressed, allowing Lazio to take greater control of the match. The home side struggled to regain the initiative, leaving them with plenty to address at the interval as they searched for a way back into the contest.

Shakhtar goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk says his side are preparing for a difficult Champions League meeting with Inter at San Siro on Wednesday 21 October.
According to FCInterNews, Riznyk spoke to UPL.TV after Shakhtar's domestic victory over Kolos, describing the result as useful preparation for the Milan trip. He said the team had prioritised winning and avoiding concessions, with the Champions League fixture already in view.

The goalkeeper's comments set out Shakhtar's immediate focus rather than making a prediction about the match. His message was that the win mattered, but the squad had now shifted its attention to Inter.
Sport.ua's account of the UPL.TV interview identifies the domestic result as a 2-1 win over Kolos in the ninth round of the Ukrainian Premier League. It also reports Riznyk's view that Shakhtar controlled the game and deserved the victory.

The official Serie A YouTube channel uploaded the highlights from Sunday's big showdown between Juventus and Lazio.
The first half didn't have too many major scoring opportunities, but the Biancocelesti came close at the half-hour mark through Gustav Isaksen, who tried to find the far corner with a sailing header but couldn't hit the target.
A few minutes later, Lazio got the breakthrough courtesy of an unlikely source, as Oliver Provstgaard headed home his first goal for the club after getting on the end of a glorious cross from his captain Mattia Zaccagni. Nuno Tavares almost scored from a deflected strike, but the ball ricocheted off the woodwork.
After the break, Randal Kolo Muani skipped past Josip Sutlo to present Nick Woltemade with an inviting opportunity to net the equaliser, but the Juventus substitute couldn't hit the target. At the other end of the pitch, Nuno Tavares found Isaksen with a wonderful cross-field pass, and the Danish winger cut past Zeki Celik and put the ball past Guglielmo Vicario to double Lazio's lead.

Juventus had won their first two games of the season, but it would be entirely fair to say that they had come close to leaving those matches ruing missed opportunities. Each of them could've been put away long time before they were, and indeed one of the major talking points headed into Sunday's matchup against AC Milan was the fact that the Bianconeri had gotten the results without reaching the level of performance they desired. Milan were in the same boat, winning two straight under new manager Ruben Amorim but not convincing in either. It felt as though the team that managed to perform better would be the likelier to come out of the Allianz on top.
It was ultimately Juve that had the better of a game that was equal parts chaotic and sloppy. But once again they failed to take advantage of their performances. They failed to make the most of the chances they made over the game's first 70 minutes before Milan scored on — stop me if you've heard this one before — their first shot on target of the match. It took until the second minute of stoppage time for Juve to finally even things out, when Federico Gatti powered home a Teun Koopmeiners cross from six yards to earn the Old Lady a 1-1 draw.
The problems for Juventus were the same as we've talked about all season so far. The finishing wasn't nearly good enough, the passing was disjointed and often inaccurate, and overall creativity seemed to be lacking. But in spite of all of that, they can honestly say that they were the better of the two sides and deserved victory — even more so when you consider the fact that Milan's goal really should've been disallowed for a foul in the buildup that was never flagged by VAR. Considering they were missing seven players due to injury, several of whom were extremely important, it's far too early to start abandoning hope of a successful year—provided they make the improvements that their play so far suggest is possible.
Luciano Spalletti was missing Kenan Yildiz, Weston McKennie, Khéphren Thuram, Andrea Cambiaso, Jeff Ekhator, Juan Cabal, and Pape Matar Sarr. His 4-2-3-1 formation gave several players their first starts of the year. Guglielmo Vicario started behind the back four of Pierre Kalulu, Bremer, Jhon Lucumí, and Zeki Celik. Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz started in the middle of the park, while Francisco Conceição joined Nico González and Kerim Alajbegovic behind Randal Kolo Muani in attack.
Amorim missed Matteo Gabbia due to an ankle injury, but returned a few players to the starting lineup who had been eased back into things after long World Cup runs. Mike Maignan started in goal, ahead of a 3-4-2-1 setup that was a slight tweak to Amorim's usual 3-4-3. Former Juve prospect Koni De Winter joined Strahinja Pavolovic and Mario Gila in defense. Big-money signing Diego Moreira got his first start of the season opposite Pervis Estupiñán at the wing-back spots, while Luka Modric and Yunis Musah manned the double pivot. Adrien Rabiot joined Alexis Saele

Juventus are still hoping to shift Jonathan David before the close of the summer transfer window and the latest updates claim that Atletico Madrid have submitted a formal offer for the Canada international.
David joined Juventus on a free transfer last summer after five productive years in Ligue 1 with Lille, but failed to convince in Serie A in a disappointing season on a personal and collective level, which resulted in a fifth-place finish and no Champions League football for 2026-27.

Juventus have already brought in a new centre-forward this summer in Randal Kolo Muani, considered a direct replacement for Dusan Vlahovic, but the Bianconeri are also hoping to replace David before the end of the window as well.
According to the latest reports from Fabrizio Romano, Atletico Madrid have recently submitted an official offer to sign David on loan with an option to buy and that the Canada international is 'open' to joining Diego Simeone's side.

Ever since the great Claude Rains first uttered the immortal line "Round up the usual suspects!" in Casablanca, the phrase has been ingrained in the popular lexicon — so much so that it inspired the ****** le of an entirely different movie nearly 50 years later. You hear it everywhere, in any context where you can expect to see a predictable set of participants.
On Saturday, a struggling Juventus were buoyed by a pair of very unusual suspects — guys most fans figured would be gone, or at least on their way out the door, by this point in the transfer window. Unable to penetrate a deep-lying Parma defense, it was Nico González who gave a moribund attack an instant shot in the arm, forcing a magical save before scoring a deflected goal off his own rebound to open the scoring. Then, with two minutes left, the game was sealed by another unlikely goalscorer: Teun Koopmeiners, who had just come on after an injury to Andrea Cambiaso and finished off a quick attack with a beautiful finish.
The unlikely redemption arcs from players most ****** umed were out of the team's plans, or at least on the very fringes, were welcome developments for a team that learned this week that their talisman, Kenan Yildiz, would miss two to three months once he undergoes surgery on a broken metatarsal. After a first half that seemed to be crying out for his creativity, it was the transfer-listed González who gave the Bianconeri the necessary spark to take Parma down 2-0 as they began to look forward to next week's big match against AC Milan.
Apart from Yildiz, Luciano Spalletti was also missing Weston McKennie (muscle fatigue), Edon Zhegrova, and Khéphren Thuram, who suffered a setback in his knee recovery and could now require surgery. Jeff Ekhator came back to make his first Juve squad in a competitive game. Spalletti's 4-2-3-1 was therefore shuffled a bit. Guglielmo Vicario started in goal after getting over the cramp that forced him off late against Frosinone. Pierre Kalulu and Zeki Çelik played on the defensive flanks, while Bremer was partnered with new signing Jhon Lucumí in the middle of defense. Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz played in the midfield, while Francisco Conceição, Jonathan David, and Jérémie Boga supported Randal Kolo Muani in attack.
Carlos Cuesta lost his first Parma match last week against Cagliari, and were looking for something better here. His only missing player was former Juve prospect Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, who had to have a surgery of his own this week. Edoardo Corvi started behind a 4-4-2. Enrico Delprato, Mariano Troilo, Dominik Drobnic, and Emanuele Valeri arrayed themselves in front of him. Sascha Britschgi and Mandela Keita bookended Christian Ordóñez and Adrían Bernabé in midfield. El Bilal Touré and Simone Lontani started up front. Drobnic and Lontani were both teenagers, and the former was making his debut.

After the Men's First Team's 2-0 win over Parma on Matchday 2 of the 2026/27 Serie A season, coach Luciano Spalletti, Guglielmo Vicario, and Nico Gonzalez shared their thoughts.
"I really liked how we played, both in the first and second halves. We weren't great at finding the right ******* e for triangles to get shots off, and then we were a little disorganised in the box. We put in a lot of crosses without finding that decisive play. But, we played well and with a clear objective, with quality in our play, and constant pressure that let us spend a lot of time in their half. Of course, you need to find that decisiveness as well, you need to anticipate, and to have the quality to capitalise on the work done. We probably weren't precise enough to trouble them more, but we created a lot of chances.
"[Randal] Kolo Muani can play on his own or with a strike partner. He's quick, skilled, and has a lot of quality. He needs to be more ruthless in certain situations because he has everything it takes to make a difference. He knows how to create ******* e for himself and I think, in all, he played well today."
"I was feeling a lot, as I've already said it's a dream that's being realised for me. Now we need to go again with enthusiasm, humility and balance. It's a good night for me, and for the team. Winning is never a given, it's what we work for, but we have to respect our opponent and they're always tough, so this win today was earned. We'll be back to work tomorrow [Sunday], so there's no time to rest on our laurels. We'll be back to work right away with next Sunday in mind."
"I'm happy for the team, we've been working well all week as well. We prepared well for today. I'm happy for the fans, and because I scored and we won."

Juventus host Parma this evening with both Randal Kolo Muani and Jonathan David expected to start up front, while Kenan Yildiz and Weston McKennie are injured.
It kicks off at 20:45 CET [19:45 BST] at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
The Bianconeri must cope without the injured Yildiz and McKennie, but Kehphren Thuram is also not fully fit and might not be included in the squad for this evening's match.
Lloyd Kelly remains favourite over new signing Jhon Lucumì, while Zeki Celik and Andrea Cambiaso compete for a starting spot at left-back.

German national team coach Jürgen Klopp has already spoken with several Bundesliga coaches, including Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany:
During his first few weeks in charge, Jürgen Klopp held long conversations with Bundesliga coaches, including Vincent Kompany, Niko Kovač and Sebastian Hoeneß. Klopp wants to work with them closely and stay in regular contact. He has also spoken to the coaches of Germany's youth teams and made it clear to them that they're part of the process and are very important to him. Klopp attaches a lot of importance to attending games regularly in stadiums. After last week's Super Cup, he will also attend Friday's Bundesliga opener at Allianz Arena.
Klopp is trying as best he can to get a read on his talent pool and taking in feedback from some of the most important managers in Germany's top tier. Sure, you can say that is what he is supposed to do, but it is reassuring that he — so far — is able to juggle managing the here and now, while also working to establish new initiatives for the future.
Juventus is still trying to sort out its desire to bring in a new attacker:
Juventus are unimpressed with Randal Kolo Muani's performances since his return to the club and are now looking at Atlético Madrid striker Alexander Sørloth, Gazzetta dello Sport reports. The Norway international is being favoured over Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee because it is felt that his characteristics would be a better fit. Nicolas González could be used as part of a deal to bring the costs down, especially as the 28-year-old wants to continue with Atleti following the expiration of his loan.

#wants

Jonathan David is a player Juventus want to offload during the final weeks of the transfer window, and the Canadian also wants to leave, but he wants the move to happen on his own terms.
David had always wanted to remain in Turin and believed his second season would be better. However, after failing to impress during pre-season, Juventus now believe the best option would be for him to leave the club this summer.
The attacker has attracted interest from some clubs, but not as many as he would have liked and certainly not from the top clubs in Europe. That has made David reluctant to leave Juventus despite the club's desire to move him on.
However, the arrival of Randal Kolo Muani means David could struggle for regular playing time. Juventus could also sign another striker before the transfer window closes, which would make his chances of featuring regularly even more difficult.
David has now accepted that he needs to leave the club, but he wants to have control over where he goes next. His preference is not simply to move away from Turin, as he wants to ensure that his next destination meets his expectations.

At the dawn of another Ligue 1 season, the divide between PSG and the rest has never been so wide. Les Parisiens, in the wake of their maiden Champions League triumph, weren't expected to be challenged. Lens, in that sense, surprised many. Another challenge, either from Les Sang et Or or from elsewhere, would be welcomed but does not necessarily look forthcoming; the perception of PSG's invincibility has only been enhanced by their second consecutive UCL **** le.
Already the best side in the division, the best in Europe, the best team in French football history, PSG exist on an entirely different plane. They have the best starting XI in world football, and their transfer business attests to that, with the second string now the subject of Luís Campos' attention. The likes of Ferran Torres, Maghnes Akliouche, and Mika Godts look to be upgrades on Goncalo Ramos, Lee Kang-in, and Randal Kolo Muani. These are the types of players that will be regularly trotted out in Ligue 1, allowing the likes of Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué, etc., to save their best performances for those nights under the lights in the UCL.
All the while, the rest of Ligue 1 has, by and large, regressed. Marseille – at the time of writing – have yet to register a single recruit. Hamstrung by restrictions imposed by the DNCG and UEFA, they have been in fire-sale mode. They are guaranteed to begin the season weaker than they ended the last, regardless of what happens in the closing days of the transfer window.
They aren't the only ones. Lens have an Icarus-like quality to them, having run PSG close for the **** le and won their maiden Coupe de France **** le. A little too close to the sun, a little too much success, and they have come crashing down. Pierre Sage has left, as have Adrien Thomasson, Mamadou Sangaré, Malang Sarr, Allan Saint-Maximin, and Welsey Said. Les Sang et Or aren't building from Ground Zero, but the backbone of last season's side has been broken. A replication of last season's success would be miraculous.

Multiple outlets in Italy are reporting that Juventus and Turkish Super Lig club Besiktas are in direct negotiations over a potential deal for midfielder Fabio Miretti and that the two sides are currently discussing the 'formula' of the transfer.
Juventus have already added Randal Kolo Muani, Kerim Alajbegovic, Guglielmo Vicario, Jhon Lucumi, Jeff Ekhator and Zeki Celik to their ranks this summer but are still hoping to add a few more signings to the list before the close of the transfer window.
"In general we've had a good transfer market, some areas need a few cosmetic changes, others entire restoration projects," said head coach Luciano Spalletti during a press conference on Saturday.
In order for those new signings to come in, other players must first be sold, and according to the latest updates, Miretti could be one of those players that ends up on the chopping block.
According to reports from various sources on Sunday including Sky Sport Italia's Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus are in direct discussions with Besiktas to discuss the sale of Miretti.

Luciano Spalletti is expected to name two of his summer signings in the Juventus starting XI to take on Frosinone away from home on Sunday evening as the Bianconeri get their 2026-27 Serie A season underway.
This is Juve's first competitive outing of the 2026-27 season, but not for the newly-promoted Frosinone, who beat Juve Stabia in the first round of the Coppa Italia last weekend.
Massimiliano Alvini is expected to name a similar line-up to the one that beat Juve Stabia last time out, including a potentially untouched front three of Antonio Raimondo, Fares Ghedjemis and Giorgi Kvernadze. Alessio Zerbin is also in contention to start in attack.
Juventus, meanwhile, are expected to go with new no.1 Guglielmo Vicario in goal along with his former Tottenham teammate Randal Kolo Muani at centre-forward. Kerim Alajbegovic and Zeki Celik are likely to start from the bench.

Juventus begin their Serie A campaign under Luciano Spalletti with an away trip to newly promoted Frosinone on Sunday.The Bianconeri arrive at the season opener after a reassuring pre-season under Spalletti.
Throughout August they showed encouraging form, registering 1–0 and 2–0 wins over Chelsea and Palermo respectively. They completed their warm-up fixtures with a 2–0 victory against Juventus Next Gen. Their only setback in that period was a narrow 1–2 defeat to rivals Inter Milan.
Defensive options are limited as dependable centre-back Federico Gatti is out with an ankle problem, and young forward Jeff Ekhator is also unavailable.
Additionally, goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio has been omitted from the traveling party amid an expected move to Premier League club Bournemouth.
On the bright side, Spalletti confirmed that marquee summer recruits Guglielmo Vicario and Randal Kolo Muani are fully fit and will make their competitive debuts in the starting XI.

Luciano Spalletti is still hoping to bring in another centre-forward before the close of the summer transfer window and reports on Thursday claim that Italy international Mateo Retegui is one of the profiles under consideration by Juventus.
Juventus have already brought in two new centre-forwards this summer in Randal Kolo Muani and Jeff Ekhator, but have also lost Dusan Vlahovic on a free transfer, Lois Openda has been sent out on loan, whilst Jonathan David and Arkadiusz Milik are not expected to be part of Spalletti's plans.
In fact, the departure of Canada international David is required before Juventus are able to bring in a new option in attack this summer.
Still, several attacking names have been linked with a move to the Allianz Stadium, including Manchester United's Joshua Zirkzee and Atletico Madrid's Alexander Sorloth.
Wednesday's reports from Tuttosport claim that Retegui's name has also re-emerged in discussions at Juventus.

LAWRENCE — As Daryl Agpalsa recently reflected on the Kansas football offensive line room, he highlighted that the unit has been on a steady climb.
Agpalsa, the Jayhawks' position coach for the group, acknowledged that there are ups and downs over the course of fall camp. The unit isn't where KU needs it to be yet. But they're still moving in the right direction, as the regular season opener continues to draw closer.
RELATED: Led by Leroy Harris III, here's how KU football's defensive ends are looking
Here are some takeaways about how things are progressing with Kansas' offensive line:
Along the offensive line, redshirt junior Amir Herring spent last season as the Jayhawks' regular starter at left guard. But this year, while KU brought in redshirt junior Kasen Carpenter as a transfer from Oklahoma State, there's a very good chance that Herring sees some playing time at center. Kansas head coach Lance Leipold detailed that possibility recently, outlining that when they can have Herring at center, they're bigger at guard with redshirt juniors Connor Stroh (Texas transfer) and Tavake Tuikolovatu in the game.

Randal Kolo Muani has returned to Juventus on a permanent deal and it's a move that could prove to be key for the Old Lady in the new season.
The outcome of the 2025-26 Serie A campaign shocked fans using casino online uk as giants Milan and Juventus failed to make it to the top four and qualify for the Champions League.
This summer, both sides must rebuild and Juventus have continued to go ahead with coach Luciano Spalletti who had replaced Igor Tudor in October 2025 and signed a contract extension even before the end of the season.
Kolo Muani already played for Juventus in 2024-25, scoring 10 goals in 22 appearances across all competitions under Tudor, but the Frenchman has always been a top target for Spalletti since the Tuscan tactician arrived on the Allianz Stadium dug-out less than a year ago.
Juventus already tried to sign the Frenchman in the January window and now they've managed to bring him back on a permanent deal from PSG.

Juventus have ended their pre-season tour of South-East Asia and Australia with a 2-0 victory over Serie B outfit Palermo on Tuesday afternoon thanks to goals from starman Kenan Yildiz and a rare strike from the lesser-spotted Arkadiusz Milik.
Following victories against Standard Liege and OGC Nice back in Europe, Juventus beat Chelsea 1-0 in Hong Kong, fell to a 2-1 victory against Inter in Perth over the weekend but bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Palermo in their final Australian friendly on Tuesday.
Luciano Spalletti named a strong Bianconeri XI for the pre-season test against Palermo, including both of his two most recent signings in Kerim Alajbegovic and Randal Kolo Muani. They were joined by Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao in attack, with Weston McKennie and Douglas Luiz in a midfield double pivot.

Kenan Yildiz and Kerim Alajbegovic get to start together for the first time as Juventus take on Palermo in their penultimate pre-season friendly of the summer on Tuesday afternoon.
Juventus are taking on Palermo in Perth, Australia on Tuesday, which kicks off at 11.00 BST (12.00 CET).
Luciano Spalletti appears to have gone with a 4-2-3-1 on Tuesday, featuring both of his two most recent signings in Alajbegovic and Randal Kolo Muani. Alajbegovic appears set to play in a central role behind Kolo Muani with Yildiz to his left and Francisco Conceicao to his right.

Juventus remain interested in a potential deal for Joshua Zirkzee, and reports in Italy suggest that Manchester United's decision to welcome England international Marcus Rashford back into their squad is a boost for the Old Lady in their pursuit of the former Bologna forward.
Following the signings of Randal Kolo Muani and Jeff Ekhator at centre-forward, Luciano Spalletti is still hoping to add another option to his attack this window, especially if Jonathan David is moved on.
Over the last few weeks, reports in Italy have linked Juventus with a move for Manchester United forward Zirkzee, who moved to Old Trafford from Bologna for €42.5m in the summer of 2024.
Zirkzee has not quite been able to replicate the same form he showed in his final season in Serie A during the last two years that he has spent in the Premier League, and has been linked with a return to the Italian top flight on several occasions since then.

Juventus keep searching for the best possible solution between the sticks and are weighing some new ones. For instance, PSG could acquire Zion Suzuki from Parma and then loan him out to them for one season, they don't plan to make him an immediate starter, Fabrizio Romano reports (via SOSFanta).
The Ducali have rejected a couple of offers north of €30M. The UEFA Champions League champions are readying a potentially decisive rise. They won't arrive to €45/50M, but they are confident they will be able to strike a deal.
PSG and Juventus touched on the possibility of Suzuki moving to Turin temporarily to continue playing regularly during the Randal Kolo Muani talks. The goalkeeper isn't too enthused by the prospect of riding the bench. The decision is up to the Bianconeri.
Other than Guglielmo Vicario, the Old Lady has earmarked World Cup standout Orlando Gill. He plays at San Lorenzo and has a €8.6M release clause, TuttoSport informs. While he shone for Paraguay, he's emerged onto the scene relatively recently, and it'd be his first stint in Europe. Moreover, they have been offered Ederson from Jorge Mendes, TRT Spor informs (via MSN). The former Manchester City star could depart Fenerbahce due to some issues with the club.
While they have been fixated on a decorated goalie, they are actually well-positioned to roll the dice with a touted prospect, if he's not too pricey, as Mattia Perin is a rock-solid backup. They are surely making everything possible to make Vicario feel unwanted. A patch like adding him or Suzuki on loan wouldn't jibe with their great history at the position. Only going all-out for a top-shelf goalie next year would offset that.

Juventus have not given up on Alexander Sørloth, with Luciano Spalletti still keen to add the Atlético Madrid striker even after the arrival of Randal Kolo Muani, and a deal that could hinge on the future of Nico González.
According to Tuttosport, Spalletti has long admired Sørloth as the kind of penalty-box target man his system craves, and personally contacted the Norway international to outline his plans.
Talks with Atlético had been opened under the previous regime of Damien Comolli and Marco Ottolini, and Sørloth was said to be enthusiastic about a move to Turin, only for Juventus's boardroom upheaval, Comolli's exit and the arrivals of chief executive Giovanni Carnevali and sporting director Frederic Massara, to slow everything down.
Atlético's valuation of around €40m has been a further obstacle.

Just a few hours before Juventus got on a plane and headed to Hong Kong for the first part of their preseason tour, they delivered quite the little treat for a fan base that has been hungry for some sort of transfer activity.
Not one, but two deals!
Juventus got their long-awaited reunion with Randal Kolo Muani. And, probably more surprising considering how unexpected the deal was, Juve signed Bosnian teenager Kerim Alajbegović in another one of those out-of-nowhere kind of deals that CEO Giovanni Carnevali has been done a couple of other times this season.
Both of them are expected to be key parts of a new-look Juve attack alongside Kenan Yildiz.
Quite the change from a week ago when we were wondering out loud when their next moves would actually be. Guess we got our answers, huh?
